Prologue: Allie P.O.V.

"My hair has always been really weird, admit it, Father." I pouted as Father kept rambling on about how pretty and beautiful I look. Truth be told, I never wanted to be born with blue hair. Even though I had these features since birth, I was still uncomfortable with the hair color. Also my hair tends to get messy often, and I don't like it. I sat on the ground with Father, awaiting the special guest and one of my childhood friends, Jayden.

One of the generals protecting the castles, Joshua, rushed up to my room in which me and Father were sitting in silence. He stood at the entrance for a brief moment, catching his breath before his head rose and he shouted, "Jayden is here!"

I felt my face beam in delight as I pushed through Joshua unintentionally and rushed over to the entrance of the castle. Just as I was making my way toward the gate, or the arc symbolizing the entrance to the castle, I bumped into Jayden. I slightly blushed before I looked up at his face, my hands still at his chest as I said, "welcome back, Jayden!"

Jayden laughed calmly as he replied, "thank you, Princess." He smiled, his emerald eyes glimmering in the sunlight. Jayden's smile always calmed me down. Joshua was always mean to me, he always bullies me, but still I can not deny the fact that he is my friend, in fact, despite his rudeness, he is an important friend to me...though probably not as important as Jayden.

Joshua, out of the blue, approached the two of us and said: "Hi, Lord Jayden." He smiled at him genuinely as he continued, "Wanna have a little contest again?" He held out a bow and arrow...two of them, one for Jayden. I always wanted to participate, however Father sternly told me a thousand times not to touch any weaponry. I wonder why...?

Jayden laughed again as he replied, "come on, Joshua. You know that you'll beat me anyways." Despite his statement, he reached his hand out toward the bow and gripped it tightly in his hand. "However, miracles can happen." He smiled genuinely as he followed Josh (I'm too lazy to call him Joshua any longer) out toward the training ground.

Soon after standing where I was, a little bit dumbfounded, I hurried toward the place where I can watch their little training battle. I watched as both of them mounted their horses and they ran at the same pace toward the target. Josh went first as he and his horse raced toward the target. Josh quickly loaded his bow and pulled the string, and when he was right behind the target he released the string from his grip.

I smiled inwardly as the arrow flew and stabbed the blue bull's eye. When it comes to weaponry, Josh is always the best. Even though I wish Jayden was better than Josh. I watched as Jayden did the same, however his arrow went a little above and hit the circle above the bull's eye. He stopped as he murmured to himself something like this: "Aw, I was pretty close."

I sighed. Miracles do happen, but rarely. I wish life was more miraculous than this.

The sun started to set as I walked over to the room for dining and I sat down, straightening my dress. Father was already there. Soon after I finished straightening my dress and a little of my hair, Josh came in along with Jayden.

"Ah, your hair's messy again." Josh teased, grinning slightly while Jayden smiled however restrained from laughing.

I pouted as I replied more harshly than I intended, "jeez, you bully!" Even though I said this harshly, I inwardly smiled as I thought:

Typical Josh...


That night I couldn't sleep. I kept squirming in my own bed, somehow having to endure nightmares again. About that tale, the tale of the creation of this castle. It was a brutal tale, and Father forbade anybody other than himself and me to read the book.

The Goddess of Creation Maxwell and three other gods attacked the humans. The God of the Gate, Lucius, chose six people, all different in their own way and with their special abilities, to lead the battle upon the front line. Lucius was originally a green glowing light, however after a big turn of events, he decided to descend upon Earth and take on a human form.

He chose six people and said to these six, "you must defeat these gods. It will take a great number of people to defeat them, which is why I made it so you guys have enhanced senses and powers."

They obeyed without hesitation as they proceeded into the bloody war-

I slapped myself, not wanting to hear myself tell the tale anymore. I then concluded I may not have been getting enough fresh air and so I went outside and took in the night breeze.

That's when I heard a scream.

A scream signalizing pain. Extreme pain as well. I also recognized the voice...

Father...!

No...this can't be happening. I pushed myself as I ran as fast as my bare feet could take me as I opened the door to Father's room, only to see Jayden glaring down upon Father with steely emerald eyes and in his right hand he held a sword, the tip dripping with blood. Father was lying on the ground face down and his clothes were stained with his own blood.

I looked up at Jayden in horror as I thought to myself: Is Jayden an assassin or something?

Due to unbelief, I ended up screaming and Jayden widened his eyes as he turned to his subordinate and whispered, "kill her." He narrowed his eyes.

"Why...Jayden-" Was all I said before Josh came rushing up and shouting, "Lord Jayden...what have you done?"

"My father should have been the one to be on the throne, but instead it was Allie's father. All the tribes have approved of him. He clenched his left hand into a fist as he continued, "Allie-sama, since you have witnessed me doing this, I'll have to kill you as well." He lifted his sword.

Josh 'tched' as he grasped my hand and ran out towards the door. I could barely hear Jayden shout, "seize both of them!"

I felt hard stares of soldiers as they chased after us. Soon, at the entrance to the castle, we were completely surrounded by soldiers. Josh narrowed his eyes as he grabbed out his spear and swung it, slicing the soldiers in half as we made our way to the mountains.

That's when I knew...

...that my life would never be the same again...

...I would have to forget about royal life...

...and forget about Father...

We ran as far as our feet could take us, as far away from that...that cursed castle.


A.N. - Hi! This is actually supposed to be Brave Frontier, however no Brave Frontier character will appear until Chapter 4. And yes, there will be other characters other than the six people with special abilities. One of the other batches I'll add is the Battle Maidens, so yeah, there'll be more people than just Allie, Josh and the six people. Based on Akatsuki no Yona/Yona of the Dawn manga/anime series.
